In veneer wall construction, what is the typical sequence?

• A. Frame Built First
• B. Veneer Installed Before The Frame
• C. Frame And Veneer Installed Simultaneously
• D. Foundation Only

Answer: (A)

In veneer wall construction, the frame provides the structural support and acts as the anchor for the veneer. The veneer is attached to the framed wall with ties or anchors, often with a small drainage/air space. Because the veneer relies on the framed wall for support and proper fastening, the frame must be built first. Installing the veneer before the frame would have nothing solid to attach to, and trying to do both at once isn’t practical. Building just the foundation isn’t enough to support or secure the veneer. So the typical sequence is to construct the frame first, then install the veneer.
